The look of a child whose parents (and their parents) rewarded him for lying lest people would see them as mortal and fallible. The truth is worse than death for a holder of generational shame.
The real issue is we used a service we were instructed not to use because it was vulnerable to compromise. The reason we used it was because we wanted to evade the legal/constitutional requirements to preserve records of our communication.

That's his knee-jerk response to questions he doesn't like. First attack the messenger, then the news source, then whoever discovered his crimes, then claim he wasn't informed.
I think I figured it out. It’s called “lack of critical thinking skills,” and the whole country could use a refresher course. Here’s a link for your review. See if you can identify what the fallacy is (fallacies are) in the video and reply here.
The President of the United States is defective.
He will attack any institution, group, or individual that is not one of his grossly incompetent sycophants.
The fact that Trump’s not holding anyone accountable for the breach to our national security, something that puts our nation, troops and everyday American lives at risk is astounding. He clearly has no respect for our country, anyone in it or anyone defending it. What a disgrace!!
Trying out every excuse they can think of. Already today another post reposted a Truth (or Tweet?) pushing the conspiracy theory that it was set up by a turncoat aide in the WH. My bet is that one was planted by the WH.
A follow-up question could/should have been whether this incident will result in staff, especially senior staff and advisors, only using approved, secure channels rather than commercial applications that have known flaws and that don't comply with records retention laws.
There’s nothing wrong with Signal. It’s a commercial application & just wasn’t built to handle national security information. Intelligence services know how to hack Signal. For classified info, you need a higher level of security.
OR... just hear me out on this. It could be we have a feckless defective incompetent crooked administration. With no honor, no morals, no integrity, and no accountability
He’s a conman who will never take responsibility for anything that goes wrong. What if this is all a set up for something much bigger. Why include the journalist?
That's an understatement. I think I commented somewhere that 99% of the people here on Bluesky are more intelligent and knowledgeable than any of those yahoo's. And I stand by that statement. He has assembled a cavalcade of morons. But then only fools follow fools.
Nobody knows as much about Signal as the Orange Man.
He has people coming up to him, with tears in their eyes, telling him that he knows the most about Signal, after all his uncle was something or other. He knows the best Signal and the most Signal.
I once would have said he understands the game of golf, but I recently watched him take a shot which was blatantly illegal, and I'm pretty certain he's oblivious to that fact.
I haven't read the entire book, only excerpts. While I know he's aware of the fact he's cheating (he always justifies it, of course), I recently saw a video of him scooping the ball with his pitching wedge. It's a blatantly illegal action and I'm certain he's done it for so long, he's oblivious.
Trump is the biggest bullshit artist on the planet. Just admit that folks in your administration made a mistake and correct it. Seriously I have about a 10 second tolerance for listening to him. It is just so offensive to anyone with a few active brain cells.
Watch his “tells.” He is cornered in humiliating incompetence and he’s feeling it acutely. Watch for him to lash out with a tough guy display in a day or two. People will suffer for this embarrassment.
It just occurred to me that these people have done so much lying that they don't realize that the truth, a few resignations, and people would have moved on. They more they lie, the bigger the story is.
No he does know! They had purposely picked it and had people trained in using it via Project 2025. They chose it because messaging was disappearing or easy to delete. Therefore no accountability. Trump is gaslighting when he talks about it.
No he actually does understand and is BSing everyone that he doesn’t know anything so he can deny any culpability. He’s had well over 4,000 lawsuits and it’s his MO I didn’t know what I was signing or I wasn’t aware. He hires the best advisors. Agreed he’s no genius. Average.
#ProudBlue Speaking of stupid - now it’s the Dems fault: “If this story proves anything, it proves that Dems & their propagandists in the MSM know how to fabricate, orchestrate, & disseminate a misinformation campaign quite well...”claimed Leavitt. 🙄
Why was it (Single Gate) used in the first place? That was clearly a breach. And any military personnel that did the same thing would be court marshaled.
And she has the uniform. Blonde hair, haven't seen her eyes, pale skin, and mad at the world that already favors her. The way some white people act, the anger, you'd think they were enslaved to build this country. It's insane.
It's not that they were sharing security information on an unsecured platform, it's the people reporting on it that's the problem? I guess we are just supposed to either ignore or applaud whatever they do.
Baghdad Barbie should ask Hillary Clinton about orchestrated misinformation campaigns.
And I mean, seriously, the whole fucking world knows that top US officials had an unsecured group chat about an impending attack that THEY INVITED A REPORTER INTO. And this is their response. To just... lie?
These GQP do LOVE a conspiracy theory - haven't met one they wouldn't use to their own benefit....now they are making one up, blaming Dems for it. Uh no, we're NOT buying it. The R's confessed already - we KNOW exactly how this happened.
Right, what do you think is more likely? We libtards fabricated Hesgeth using Signal for classified communications with ~30 other people, adding a journalist by mistake, and pulled airstrike plans for Yemen including the number of f-18s and drones out of our asses or an incompetent moron fucked up?
People with zero sense of accountability, who can never accept being wrong, are people who should never be trusted because they are incapable of growth or learning.
This bothered me as they said he had just entered his girlfriend's building. So the gf & innocent people in that building, men, women, children, elderly, families all died for 1 fucking guy doing shady shit.

Trump is unquestionably stupid. But don't assume the forces he's fronting are equally stupid. It might be a good idea to check what policies they've been slipping under the table while attention was elsewhere.
A continuation of drumpfian assholian douchebaggery, on the epic scale that was designed to keep this unwanted orange turd and his obvious disregard for anything right, in check. Faux News, as usual is following suit by gaslighting and whataboutisms, the likes of which we are accustomed to. Resist!
He stated he knows everything that goes on with his administration and must be approved by him. His usual response is that I didn't know anything about it, and I don't know or heard anything about that person.
I doubt that the developers of Signal would suggest using it for top secret military operations.
Besides, the administration had been told a week earlier to stop using it. It's a violation of the Espionage Act and the Presidential Records Act. Why do we have these laws, anyways?
“Everybody uses Signal…. It may be defective.” says the moron who kept his personal phone & public account on Twitter during his 1st presidency before being kicked the fuck off for inciting an insurrection/coup… We’re dealing with levels of stupidity ‘the likes of which we never seen before!’😵💫
I’m sure the whole thing is a misunderstanding. The Nazis published in English propaganda magazine during World War II called Signal. I’m sure that’s what Eggs-eth thought he was subscribing to.
The Felon looks tired, bored, his malignant narcissism is more pronounced. His vocabulary is fourth-grade level, his excuse-making that of a three year-old. The Arnold Palmer story was pure pimply-12-year-old boy, but his peak mental age these days is 10 and declining. He can't die soon enough.

It’s not just da OBVIOUS🇺🇸NAT’L SECURITY🙊😬BREACH & HACKABLE👨💻👾🇷🇺🇨🇳🇮🇷🇰🇵👾#SignalChat platform, it’s VP Shady Vance, DoD drunkard Hegseth DISSING European ALLIES as freeloaders‼️
What to expect from the moron-in-chief...? A coherent speech or even knowledge...? The man is a senile lunatic and doesn't understand nothing about anything...!
We have a president who is among the dumbest people in america and on top of that he’s the most prodigious liars in OUR history. Rather than just say made a mistake, he just makes STUFF up and no one says anything.
He has NO idea what Signal even is. He kept referring to it like a conference call. Said something to the effect they had a bad signal. That thecreporter "hung up after awhile on the call ?He has no idea what's going on.
FOX NEWS: Musk awarded billion dollar govt contract 4 Twitter's new totally secure chat platform for all GOP's top intelligence plans, OPSEC coms. & military operations.
Trump stated, "It's a very smart chat room. Very smart. Very smart ppl say it’s smarter than me. I don’t know bc I’m very smart.”
The Gross Incompetence of this Trump is almost as bad as the Lying Culture created by him. No one in his admin was nominated because of qualifications. The only test was Fealty.
Of course, no one in the room is challenging him on the exact way signal works or even for him to discuss in detail how the platform varies from others.
Whoever owns the app code has full control over it, so no app is 100% secure. For example, I could create exceptions in the code that are hidden from users. For example, I could provide certain users with a version of the app that does not provide end-to-end encryption when they log in.
The guy's a jackass. By all means he's STUPID. He should never lead this country. Jimmy Kimmel put it best when he said, "Isn't it past your jail time?" I certainly think so.
So if signal is not very good as tRump says, why are they using it to share classified information? Because all the evidence will be deleted and there will be no official record.
It's called unsecured Dumbass!!! You guys should have followed your own security protocols, but no, you Think your smart. Here's a clue...
You're Not Smart, you're an Idiot!!!
NOTE TO MAGA:
If you gamble, you'll already know the odds of winning are 3-5% (depending on where your stats come from; casino's versus lottery/horse races etc.)
The odds of trump being blame-free 100% of the time are ZERO! The odds of trump being truthful about anything are about the same :(

See how easy that is. If no one in this administration can do that.
